| Jun 7, 2017 at 3:52 | comment | added | cometaryorbit | The exact configuration I've seen on maps of the Verse doesn't look plausible for a real star system, but crazy multiple star systems do exist - Castor is a 6-star system and Nu Scorpii is probably a 7-star system. They look a bit different though: real ones break down into close pairs (very close relative to the separation from other components of the system) or single stars. According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castor_(star) the individual pairs all have an orbital period of <10 days while the A pair and B pair's mutual orbit is 445 yrs and the AB quartet-C pair orbit is 14000 yrs. | |

| Apr 8, 2011 at 15:19 | comment | added | Poindexter | I'm not sure if it's a reference to Stargate, but the real 34 Tauri was the original name for Uranus, before it was determined to be a planet and not a star. | |
